I set the infotainment to appear in the HUD and would you believe at long last the safety camera warning now appears in the HUD as well. Found this fix on this forum - still awaiting any response from my BMW dealer!

I had an issue where I'd select "Display Assisted Driving View" when it was activated so that it replaces the map with the picture of the car and other vehicles, but every time I switched off the ignition, it would unselect it. Then at probably the 5th attempt, it has retained it?!?! I haven't reboot or anything either. |

I was driving yesterday and when approaching a speed camera the car announced “Warning! Speed camera ahead”. So it seems that’s been added to the functionality.

Although, over this I wish they’d just show the location on the map in digital cockpit, half the time they’re ahead of me and I’ll be turning before it anyway and because it doesn’t show me location I have no idea. What’s sad, is my previous Megane had a much better implementation of this - audible warnings & showed them on the map with directional data. |

The BMW Safety Camera app is good in terms of reliability but its big flaw is that it does not have audible alerts so, if you’re concentrating on urban traffic conditions, it would be possible to miss the icon in the middle of the tachometer (I never use my head up display so that is where I’ve set my icon to appear). Therefore. I still need to use my Cyclops Safety Camera app via my iPhone which works very well AND provides audible warnings via my car’s iDrive system and speakers.

I am not sure either of these posts are correct. This is why I made reference to April 1st after the first post that said you could get audible alerts.

Since it hasn’t happened since and as no one else has had it then it may have been from Waze which I don’t use normally but had mucked about with on the day in question. But the BMW camera alert appeared in the HUD at exactly the same time as the audible alert so I made a fucking ridiculous assumption that the functionality had been added. If only I had chrisnoy to put me right I wouldn’t have looked like a cretin. Last edited by xenon; 05-29-2021 at 03:26 PM.. |

As others have predicted, the safety camera warning is now displaying in the instrument cluster again, having previously been showing in the HUD for the last few weeks. I haven 't altered anything and it was showing in the HUD since I'd added infotainment to the HUD - the latter still displays in the HUD. BMW really needs to get its act together. Customers paying BMW prices are entitled to better. All this technology is no good if it doesn't perform properly. I hope someone from BMW reads these threads - as they should be doing

Well, after nearly 2 months of camera warnings appearing in the HUD it has finally switched to the dash, even though it is still set to display in HUD.

Route warnings
I recently purchased the Speed Camera Safety Information for my G20. I've set this to display on the HDU but when I come near a camera the system automatically changes from HDU to instrument panel. I actually just watched it doing this. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this?

The speed camera alert bmw app appears to have been updated . On my g30 yesterday I note there is a soft bong now and if you open up the app, there is now an option for the aural notification
Note if it’s turned on, it briefly interrupts any audio source you may be listening to I saw now announcement about his update and only noticed as I can up up to a camera and heard a bong, thought I had imagined it until I got the same on the next camera |

Same experience for me. Also for those who may be wondering, I'm only about half way through my subscription year for this app however an "Update apps" refresh introduced this aural notification so clearly applicable to current subscriptions and not just new purchases.
